Extra-Curricular Activities and School Sport

    Gardening Club    After School Club Timetable

The school aims to involve all children in a wide range of sporting activities of both an aesthetic and competitive nature. Within the National Curriculum framework for physical education the children cover elements of gymnastics, games, dance, swimming, athletics and outdoor and adventurous activities.
Children and parents are encouraged to take an active part in the upkeep and the development of our extensive natural outside environment. We run a gardening club in school and after school.

Our children participate in the many Authority wide events where schools compete with each other in football, cricket, athletics, rounders and netball. Our recent successes in the sporting arena reflect our commitment to developing the whole child.

We offer a range of sporting and other activities after school and at lunchtimes. These include: football, cricket, fitness training, netball, outdoor pursuits, choir and cross country running. There is an annual sports day where the performance of each individual is valued. Our children benefit from visits from a local basketball coach. Through the years children from our school have represented Barnsley in a variety of sports.

Our children make regular use of the local area in order to support their work in school. We make annual residential visits so that the children will learn to live together with co-operation while learning new skills and techniques in outdoor pursuits.

Both our Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 children participate in our successful theatrical perform- ances which are now features of our links with the community.
